MANY STATES REPRESENTED
'AT INAUGURATION DINNER'
Undergraduates Commended For
Ottering Hospitality To Alumnae
Spending Night
FOUkTEEN SPEECHES GIVEN
Three hundred and thirty alumnae at-
tended the alumnae banquet in honor of
President Park last Friday night. The
supper was .given in Pembroke,.Hall, which
was decorated with bright colored autumn
leaves harmonizing with the chrysanthe-
mums on the tables. The speeches began
as soon as the tables were cleared and
were informal suggestions and opinions.
Miss Anne Todd, '02, president of the
Alumnae Association, was in the chair.
"It gives me great pleasure," she said, "to
welcome so many alumnae. That there arc-
so many here is a miracle wrought by the
good 'will of the neighboring alumnae and
of the undergraduates. Through their
president, Miss Martin, the alumnae wen-
offered Pembroke-West and the undergrad-
uates arc scattered about the college, sleep-
ing on window seats, or two in single beds;
and we are in their comfortable quarters.
Our most grateful thanks to our absent<�<�
hostesses!" Miss� Todd ended with the
story of the man who put an acorn into
the ground arid ."left the growth to God"
arid in this same feeling'of faith and trust,
she said, "we must leave the growth of the
College to I'rcsiJlent Park's wisdom and
care."
Miss Bancroft, '02, Is Toastmistress
Miss Todd introduced Miss Elizabeth
Neilds Bancrfift, president of '98 and toas*
mistress of the evening. Miss Bancroft
mentioned the places from which the three
hundred and thirty alumnae had come to
"give greetings to the new President"; an 1
after a silent toast to the two first presi-
dents of the College introduced the next
sneaker, Josephine Coldmark, '98. After
speaking of her own undergraduate days,
of the nonsense, the fooling and the same
more serious question of self-government
and academic duties that impress the un-
dergraduate of today, Miss Goldmark spoke
of President Park. "Hers is no cmp.y
honor, her path is a difficult one, not- be-
, cause she is a successor to President
Thomas who held the torch so magnifi-
cently, but because this is the era of dis-
illusionment. We turn now with a new
interest and passion to education, we bring
flexible minds and open hearts. The new
President may count on this, and that the
' education here is combined with the spirit
of youth, the hope of the world."
Mrs. W. Ladd (A. E. Rhoads, '89L
trustee and director of the College, who
spoke next: "President Thomas was the
president of the College of yesterday, to-
night we must turn toward the future;
there are many difficulties but the feeling
of the directors is one of happy confidence.
A daughter of BryW Mawr is the President
of Bryn Mawr, President Park has the best
qualiticjHBwisdom. simplicity, humor and
scholasticism." '
Millicent Cary, '20, was .the youngest
alumna, to speak. She made two sugges-
tions that she had learned in her last year's
experience at an English university, "One
thing that I should like to see done," she
said, "is a system for real leisure estab-
lished, leisure to think, read, get ideas, and
make friends, and another thing is the es-
tablishment of comprehensive examinations,
with more specialization in group subjects
and an opportunity .for original work."
The fourth speaker was Harriet Brad-
ford, *15f; she began by complimenting
President Park's "master stroke" which let
"all the alumnae tell her how to run the

FREEMEN TO RECEIVE LANTERN,
ACCORDING TO .OLD TRADITIONS
Lantern Night, one of the oldest cus-
toms in Bryn Mawr history, will be oh-
scr.y,ed Friday Evening, when the Fresh-
men receive the lanterns k�m the
Sophomore class. *
, The first class to receive lanterns in
College was 1890, when the ceremony
was merely an incident in an impromptu
entertainment which the Sophojnores
gave the Freshmen. Later the ceremony
was transferred to the night when the
Freshmen received their caps and gowns
and was removed from the campus to
the Cloisters, where it has been held
ever since.
"Pallas Athene Tliea," written as
1893's class song, is sung by the Sopho-
mores, as they file" into the Cloisters.
The -Freshmen answer by the Greek
song "Sofyas Filae Parome'n," first sung
by 1924.
